From the sculpture garden to tree-like columns to the stunning ballroom the hotel's allure is matched by that of its location. It was perfectly situated for us, smack dab in the centre of all the action and standing tall in the heart of mid-town Manhattan. One block to Times Square and minutes from the Broadway area, we could have a cocktail in The Stinger Cocktail Bar and Kitchen before going for a night exploring the area`s dining possibilities. Every day we awoke to our exceptional view of the high rises, rivers and other uniquely New York sights from our 32nd floor room. In the mornings, I highly recommend to take full advantage of the great breakfast buffet with just about anything you desire. Fill up, as days in the Big Apple means hours of walking. During the day, the InterContinental's location made it the perfect base of "shoperations" as we could head out in any direction to find shopping options for all our interests. Just out the door there is a Subway station ready to take you to any corner of the island and beyond. The friendly staff helped us out with learning about the theater scene and when we were too tired from the day out and about, we could take advantage of all the amenities that are made available at this luxurious hotel. With Wi-Fi, cable, room service, a 24-hour fitness center and personalized in-room beauty services, the list is long and full. Clean and quiet, our room was a sanctuary from the often overwhelming New York. In keeping with the times, the InterContinental is LEED certified with design highlights that bring new meaning to deluxe. www.intercontinental.com by Michael Morcos Shangri-La Hotel Opens in Yiwu The 362-room Shangri-La Hotel, Yiwu opened last year in the 52-story, mixed-use Yiwu World Trade Centre, the tallest building in Zhejiang Province. The tower offers commercial space, apartments and shopping from its location in the city’s business district, adjacent to Yiwu International Commodity City. There are three restaurants on the premises, an outdoor terrace for al fresco dining, over 40,000 square meters of event space, and a grand ballroom that can accommodate 1,000 guests for banquets. The hotel also features Shangri-La’s signature The Spa, and a health club with an indoor swimming pool, fitness center, Jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room. Yiwu is considered a gateway for the New Silk Road, as freight trains originating here carry Chinese goods to Central Asia and through to Europe.

The Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel & Marina, currently in the midst of an impressive $40 million upgrade program, represents an excellent choice for accommodations. Ideally located in the downtown area, the hotel is only eight minutes from the airport. This striking, 27-storey high-end property has more than 700 non-smoking rooms and suites that feature private balconies overlooking Harbour Island, downtown and the hotel's 32-slip marina. All rooms include high-end signature bedding, flat-screen TVs that can connect with laptops and large, luxe bathrooms with the softest, fluffiest white towels and sleek granite countertops. High-speed in-room internet is available for a daily service fee, and it is free in public spaces. General amenities include a palmstudded pool and groovy hot tub and a fullservice spa/gym on the third floor, a business center and multiple newly renovated options for wining/dining that include white tablecloth fancy, sports bar casual, poolside grill and a lobby-side Starbucks cafe. There's both valet and self-parking, each for a daily rate. At night you can enjoy live music, adding to a very uplifting atmosphere. As part of the major renovations, every single room has been given a makeover. The lobby will also be given a facelift while the check-in desk will move to a pod format. A full service Starbucks is in the works, along with an expanded outdoor patio, an outdoor beer garden and an extremely popular Topgolf simulator, using real golf balls. Boasting a prime Channelside location, this waterfront hotel is tucked between the Tampa Convention Center and the Amalie Arena. The marina and the popular Riverwalk are right outside your door – The Riverwalk being a 2.4 mile path connecting culture and entertainment. I walked its distance several times and noticed plenty of bikers and those on Segways using the area as well. We stayed in one of the magnificently newly renovated luxury suites on the 22nd floor with a connecting room. New elevators feature neat touch screen pads to push what floor to go to. The lobby bar offers cool cocktails and a stunning view of the marina and waterfront. Champions Bar and Grill showcases new additions in its impressive collection of sports memorabilia and décor, as well as offers the biggest games on new flat-screen TVs. For a quiet meal, Café Waterside features new intimate seating arrangements along with stunning water views and a delicious menu. Champions is about to be transformed into an American Gastro Pub format, While we did take advantage of the 24 hour room service, one night we chose to stay at the hotel and have dinner at the Waterside Grill. Let me strongly recommend this as a dining choice whether you are staying at the hotel or not. The restaurant offers a relaxed atmosphere and delicious American cuisine. You can feast on fresh seafood, prime steaks, expertly crafted cocktails and decadent desserts. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and you can dine inside or on the terrace facing the Tampa waterfront. www.tampamarriottwaterside.com Madrid Cape Town Beijing Sydney Vancouver Ecuador Malaysia Crete Stockholm Maldives Peru Miami Shanghai Tahiti Riviera Maya Las Angeles Barcelona Santiago Washington Jakarta Marrakesh Boston Botswana Copenhagen New Delhi Dubai Sao Paulo Bangkok Auckland B n Paris Tokyo Hong Kong Bali Rome Thailand Monaco Amsterdam Berlin Ibiza Montreal Tanzania Hawaii Rio Madrid Cape Town Beijing S
